Taitung, Taiwan

If you're lucky enough to visit Taitung during its annual Lantern Festival, you'll be mesmerised and delighted by 12 days of colourful paper orbs, exuberant firecrackers, lively performances and a city that unites in vibrant celebration. But there's also magic beneath the ground where revellers gather and dance. Taitung is a city of important archaeological significance. Local archaeologists have unearthed thousands of artifacts from aboriginal cultures, including over 1500 Peinan stone coffins. A visit to the Museum of Prehistory or the Beinan Culture Park will school you in Taitung's rich history.
